The Beaver Scout Motto is ‘Fun & Friends’. Lots of games and trips will make sure you have plenty of each!
You will be able to make things, to sing songs, to listen to stories and to visit places like a fire station. You might also be able to have a sleepover, where you spend a night away from home with the rest of the Colony. Click here to find out more about the Beavers
There are loads of fun things that you can do as a Cub Scout. You will get a chance to try lots of different activities like swimming, music, exploring, computing and collecting. If you do them properly you will get a badge which you can wear on your uniform.
Cub Scouts also get to go on trips and days out, to places like the zoo, theme parks or a farm. Sometimes you will be able to go camping with the rest of the Pack. This will mean you sleeping in a tent and doing loads of outdoor activities. Click here for more information about the Cubs
Scouting is for young people aged between 10 1/2 and 14 year who want to make friends and develop their widening interests in way that are both educational and fun – young people who want a break from the usual after school routine of homework, games and watching television.
Our activities are about action and involvement and mean more than just camping. Hiking, rock climbing, gliding, sailing, pioneering, canoeing, parascending, abseiling, putting on shows and exhibitions, motor mechanics, electronics, photography – the list is endless!
Scouts are also given the chance to learn skills in survival, cooking and first aid.
There are often opportunities to go abroad as well. In 2006, the Salvation Army are holding their International Jamboree in the Netherlands which our Scouts will be attending. Click here for more information about the Scouts
As a Explorer Scout, you will be able to decide, along with the rest of the Unit, what you want to do – whether it is powerboating, socialising, hiking or enjoying a trip abroad.
You will be able to gain badges such as the Chief Scout’s Diamond and Platinum Awards. The highest award you can earn is the Queen’s Scout Award. This is recognised by many employers as the sign of someone that is enthusiastic, dedicated and reliable.
The Explorers will also be going the the Salvation Army International Jamboree in the Netherlands in 2006. Click here to find out more about the Explorers
